Country music hitmaker Aaron Goodvin is decking the halls and turning up the holiday cheer with the release of “Lonely Drum Christmas,” out today. When the original “Lonely Drum” hit the airwaves nearly a decade ago, it didn’t just launch Aaron Goodvin into country music stardom – it became a monster hit around the globe. The breakthrough track exploded into a cultural powerhouse, inspiring line dances worldwide, earning Double-Platinum certification, a CCMA Songwriter of the Year win and a coveted Dance of the Decade nomination at the Crystal Boot Awards. Taking country music by storm from local honky-tonks to international dance floors, the track has proven its unbelievable, enduring legacy, racking up over 147 million career streams and continuing to generate over 100,000 streams every single week years after its release.
Now, Goodvin gives country fans a familiar, high-octane favorite wrapped in a Christmas twist. A festive reimagining of the global anthem, “Lonely Drum Christmas” pairs the infectious beat and boot-stomping energy of the original with jingling sleigh bells and whimsical seasonal lyrics.
“The success of ‘Lonely Drum’ is such a massive reason why I am here today and why I am able to keep going. It changed my life in a lot of ways,” says Goodvin. “For the new reimagined version, we tried to keep it as close to the original as we could and it just turned into something really cool. I hope that the song can keep reaching more people and bring more joy.”
Featuring a special guest appearance on sleigh bells by Santa Claus himself, the track was cut at the world-famous East Avalon Recorders in legendary Muscle Shoals, tapping into the rich musical history of the legendary Alabama landmark.
The holiday single arrives on the heels of Goodvin’s deeply personal Drinkin’ Hand EP, which featured the line dance hit “Country Dance,” the cheeky anthem “Said No Redneck Ever” and his single “Not Too Much To Hate.”
